correcting site to look same in all browsers

my problem is as follows ... im making a website for a department in my school called "the point" and basically all the school computers run IE 6 and my website so far is almost how i want it in firefox and IE 7 but i need it to look the same in IE 6 ... below is my css is there anything i need to add to make it look the same in IE 6 ?

this is the website http://roeyfreak10.webs.com/HazotFinal/index.htm
also on the leaders tab and then under student leaders when u scroll down theres white on the left side where it should be purple, and then the table isnt centered ... so how do i go about doing that ?

You are right, the errors are "alt" related - but DON'T say "just". It is important to have this.

Some suggestions:
1) if you know know, disable css and look at your page.
2) in any case, you are using <h.> tags for styling the page - don't.
3) do add a <h1> tag with the equivalent of the title information.
4) use css to position things like that logo, not 13 <p> tags
5) reconsider using that table to position the logo
6) This one is, perhaps, personal style. You have a image map to set up your navigation. Mousing over it doesn't give any indication other than mouse pointer that you are on a link. Maybe that is great and everyone else loves it, but I find it a little dicey. I maybe a representative of one on this, however.

It's not really personal style: you're entirely correct. This is changing standard web, even standard operating system conventions. I don't, however, think the OP is aware of the fact.

That's done with this image: and this is the line that does it - background: url(bg.jpg) repeat-y;

Does that make sense now?

yes thank you so much ! but if i make the tables smaller on the pages where i took screenshots of it on IE 6 so if i make the width less would it go back to the top ? or is there something special i need to do ?

Are you talking about your float drop?
Check out the little drawing of the box model here - http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/box.html As long as your box model is correct, your floats should work. Sometimes IE6 can be a bugger anyway, would have to take a look at it to see.
What's the current url to the problem page?

well if you scroll up i put two pictures that i took on a computer that had IE 6 ... so its the events page and the leaders page ... and basically both of those pages are made of tables within the main content div so i was thinking if i made it thinner would go back up where it should be
